C83 includes various forms of non-follicular lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and other aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas that do not fit the criteria for follicular lymphoma.
C83 codes should be used when documenting cases of non-follicular lymphoma, especially when the specific subtype is identified through histological examination and when the lymphoma is confirmed by a healthcare provider.
Documentation must include the specific subtype of non-follicular lymphoma, results from histopathological examinations, clinical findings, and any relevant treatment plans to ensure accurate coding and billing.
